I just use the same GEII that I use on the marbles. I tear the foil into squares that are roughly 4" and I put a bead of silicone around the edge of the dull side, and then do a squiggly line of it in the middle. I overlap the edges a bit, so water doesn't get under the foil. The ONLY time the foil has ever come off one of my balls is when some teenagers rolled it down the block. I've made over a dozen balls this way. Once I made my own eeeeverybody wanted one. One even has a bolt epoxied in the finger hole and is chained down, because I had one stolen once. I love your pumpkin jo, he has a lot of character.

Yes, I'll never forget her, her name was Lois Raulerson. I grew up in the country, but the school was in a little town about 15 miles away. She lived in town. Later on when I was in Junior high, her husband had to go to a TB sanitarium in Orlando Florida and my sister that was 2 years older than I and I would ride with her some weekends so she wouldn't have to go alone. We had an aunt that worked at the sanitarium. Our aunt had never married. And I got into trouble once trying to tell someone about her. I said she was an Old Maid and tried to correct myself by saying she was just a maid and that still came out all wrong. We would stay with her in the dormitory and she would buy all kinds of candy and junk for us and take us to fancy restaurants. I'll never forget the Duck Inn. I remember we had fried shrimp and Strawberry Shortcake. It was delicious. My sister was Wanda, and I don't think mother ever saw Wizard of Oz as we had no television. I think it's coincedence that we were named for the witches in Oz. But all the way through school I was called Wanda because of my sister. Then after I was out of school and had various jobs, I was still called Wanda by a lot of people that didn't even know I had a sister called Wanda. And to this day I occasionally get called Wanda. Like I said we did not have televisions, telephones or indoor bathrooms. Never had any of these until after I got married. We used to go to town with our mother every Sat. and she would let us go to the movie theatre while she bought groceries. Sometimes we would get to go to the museum while she shopped. My first job was at Woolworths while in high school. I worked behind the counter where records and sewing notions were sold. And sometimes behind the candy counter. When I got into 7th grade we moved into a brand new high school. So a couple of years ago they had a 50 year reunion for all the grades that started school there that year. My Home Economics teacher was there and I was amazed how well she has aged. She still goes to the gym everyday there at the country club where she lives. Her name is Evalena Cates and I loved her. The summer between 11th and 12th grade my parents divorced. I used to dream that if my daddy remarried it would be to her. At the reunion I got to sit down and reminisce with her. She is as sharp as a tack!! Got a kick out of me telling her I used to dream of her as my step-mother. In Biology class my teacher was Mr. Jones. I really liked him and loved Biology. Used to play a game called Zoology, like Bingo. Had cards with definition of biological terms and he would call out the words. First one to get them all won. Of course if you didn't know the meaning of the words it was hard. I won everytime and never had to take any tests. I even liked disecting the bull frog even though I felt bad about killing the frog. And my English teacher was Mr. Emory and I really liked him and did very well in his class. Straight A's. Then there was Miss Robarts for history, American and World and I did well there. Don't even ask me about Math. Don't even remember the teachers names in math classes. It's a good thing I never had to take Algebra, Geometry or any foreign languages back then, I would have flunked out. I remember the Air Force coming out one time and testing us to see what our abilities were. They suggested that I was qualified to be an "Air Traffic Controller."LOL When I graduated I got my first real job at the University of Fla as a filing clerk in the On Campus Housing office. I stayed there a year, got married and then left there to go to work for the telpehone company as a long distance operator. Did that for about 13 years and then worked in the Switch and Data Administration office for another 9 years and left there to go to work with my husband. Been doing that ever since. Glenda

Your tops look more yellow than the lowers. Wondering if this is more a lighting issue, than a paint issue. What type of lighting do you have in there? A picture of the whole room would be helpful. Try lighting that is cooler white than what you now have and see if it corrects the problem. Do you have under cabinet lighting? The very top of the set of cabinets with the microwave between the top piece and the ceiling, needs to be caulked. I can see a gap there. I do like your backsplash, and think it will look much nicer, if you have proper whiter type light bulbs. The room looks a bit blah though, try to add some color accents somewhere.

I used a foam brush to help avoid the brush strokes. Though that did not seem to help. The disposable black crafting things? Those are the absolute worst...I don’t even use them for painting swatches! Do you have any good-quality synthetic brushes made by a well-known company (e.g., Purdy or Wooster)? “Expensive” really is better when it comes to paint brushes and I find a 2 or 2-1/2” angled sash brush to be among the most versatile.
